1. If Snyder really wants Sanchez, he trades up with the Chiefs. I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't one of Scott Pioli's people who were the inside sources telling McShay that the Seahawks wanted Sanchez (thereby making the Chiefs #3 pick the route to Sanchez, not the Jags #8 pick). Pioli:

A. was the co-architect of the Patriots, who always traded down and accumulated picks,

B. knows that when the Danny sees something shiny, he'll do everything in his power to get it. And that means this year's number 1, next year's number 1, and possibly next year's #3.

2. This is pure speculation, but I wonder if Snyder sees enormous marketing potential in having the first Hispanic superstar in the NFL. I'm not sure what the demographics are on hispanic football following, but not only is there a large Hispanic population here in the Washington area, the possibility of selling Sanchez Redskins jerseys in southern California where there is no team, where Sanchez went to college, and where there are of course millions of first and second generation Hispanics new to american football in an area without a football team... I mean, again, I'm just spit-balling here, but yeah, you've gotta think that the first Hispanic Franchise QB is going to be a goldmine. And you've gotta think Snyder knows this. I mean, he's taking the guy out to eat... this thing's getting done... utterly ridiculous.
